Cannot Retrieve OAuth Request Token

[iovan4o]

I run josm-tested version 3208,
I go to Preferences->Connection Settings->Authentication, select "Use OAuth" and click the "Authorize now" button. In the "Get an Access Token..." dialog I select Semi-automatic procedure. After I click "Retrieve Request Token" button an error dialog appears with the following message:
Retrieving an OAuth Request Token from '​http://www.openstreetmap.org/oauth/request_token' failed.
In the console there is the following exception:

org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.oauth.OsmOAuthAuthorizationException: oauth.signpost.exception.OAuthNotAuthorizedException:
Authorization failed (server replied with a 401). This can happen if the consumer key was not correct or the signatures did not match.

I am also getting this error. The core problem seems to be that the OSM OAuth server returns a 401 error code:

org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.oauth.OsmOAuthAuthorizationException: oauth.signpost.exception.OAuthCommunicationException: Communication with the service provider failed: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: ​http://www.openstreetmap.org/oauth/request_token

Could it be that there's something broken with the way JOSM generates it's OAuth request token?

A working OAuth would be very much appreciated by me, as I usually don't like sending any authentication data in the clear (for hopefully obvious reasons).

Same here: Fully automatic doens't work at all, semi-automatic returns above mentioned error code 401
used manual procedure, tried to test the Access Token returns error:

Failed to access the OSM server '​http://api.openstreetmap.org/api' with the Access Token '​http://api.openstreetmap.org/api'. ...

It seems that there is an error with some variables, the server address shouldn't be the Access Token

Tested again and it works for me ... (Version 3376)
Haven't changed anything since the last comment

[Sellerhäuser]

Tested again with different systems (Windows, Linux), requested new token, testing token access and it works on all of them

seems not to be an error of JOSM

@Stoecker can you request a token?

It is still broken for me.

[stoecker]

Yes. Had no problems when I tried.

[stoecker]

Ah, rechecked and is broken in latest. Probably caused by the latest signpost-update.

Commenting on an ancient, closed ticket does not help.
There are still some problems with open tickets: query
Some significant changes were made in r17972, so please, update JOSM.
